Tibbo Project System-based Aircon Controller Application
https://www.electronics-lab.com/tibbo-project-system-based-aircon-controller-application/
The app allows you to manage traditional air conditioners that are controlled through infrared remotes. Designed for the office environment, the app relies on the ambient brightness (measured by Tibbit #28) to determine whether the aircon should be running or not. In the office setting, no lights = no people = no need for the […]

This project helps you control 8 relays using RS485 link with the help of a PC. This kit can effectively convert a standard PC to a powerful PLC ( programmable logic controller ). At the PC end , you will need to use our RS232 to RS485 Interface – C020 or any other suitable […]
Dual input, 2.5A step-down DC/DC achieves 95% efficiency
https://www.electronics-lab.com/dual-input-2-5a-step-dcdc-achieves-95-efficiency/
by Graham Prophet @ edn.com: LTC3126 is a 2.5A, 2.4V to 42V input, synchronous step-down switching regulator with integrated dual input PowerPath control. Its power stage topology enables operation from either of two independent power sources, with seamless, internally controlled transitions between inputs to ensure a stable output voltage during hot-plug and power source disconnect […]
Lithium-ion battery fires: 7 solutions for improved safety
https://www.electronics-lab.com/lithium-ion-battery-fires-7-solutions-improved-safety/
Steve Taranovich discuss about various ways to enhance Li-Ion batteries safety. Typically, Lithium-ion batteries are safe and reliable. Just think about the $28B market they had in 2013 with a relatively small amount of fires and explosions. But every fire and explosion incident has the potential to cause a loss of life or serious personal […]

https://www.electronics-lab.com/laser-treatment-improve-paper-electronics/
“NanoEngineers” research group at Iowa University have been devoting efforts to use graphene and its amazing properties in their sensors and other technologies. Graphene has many extraordinary properties. It is about 100 times stronger than the strongest steel. It conducts heat and electricity efficiently and is nearly transparent. Inspired by some recent projects about using inkjet […]
AEM10940, A High Efficient Power Management IC From e-peas
https://www.electronics-lab.com/aem10940-high-efficient-power-management-ic-e-peas/
AEM10940 is a power management IC designed by e-peas to store power from photovoltaics (PVs) cells and thermoelectric generator (TEGs) into rechargeable power sources, such as Li-Ion batteries and thin film batteries. At the same time, it supplies the system with two different regulated voltages, the charging voltage and the system supply voltage. e-peas is […]
A dual sensor fan controller build
https://www.electronics-lab.com/dual-sensor-fan-controller-build/
Kerry Wong has designed and built a dual sensor fan controller: To make the design more useful, one channel is marked as optional (see components with * on the silkscreen) so that you can build either a single sensor fan controller or a dual sensor one. With two sensors, the control signal is or’d with both […]
MyComm: A portable satellite messaging system
https://www.electronics-lab.com/mycomm-a-portable-satellite-messaging/
Never before have we been so incredibly connected to one another than today; thanks to the prevalence of internet and mobile data networks. But the dimension of this connected world is finite and ends not far beyond the outermost cell phone tower. John Grant wanted to be connected to his friends and family all the […]
